10. Now, perform another StarSense Auto alignment.

When alignment is complete, your telescope

is ready to view objects and StarSense will

accurately locate them in your eyepiece’s ﬁeld

of view.

STARSENSE MANUAL ALIGN

StarSense Manual alignment allows you to point

the telescope in the part of the sky you wish to

use for taking alignment images. This is particularly

useful in locations where the horizon is obstructed

or you have limited visibility. Manual StarSense

Alignment is not as accurate as automatic align-

ment. However, it provides good pointing accuracy

throughout the region of the sky that was used for

the alignment. To use StarSense Manual alignment:

1. With the telescope powered on, press the

ALIGN button.

2. Use the UP/DOWN scroll keys to select Star-

Sense Manual option and press ENTER.

3. Move the telescope to its home position or

switch position. Alt-Az mounts should have the

telescope pointing at the horizon. Equatorial

mounts should be positioned to the index marks.

Telescopes with switch postions will automatically

move to the home switch positions.

4. Use the direction buttons to aim the telescope

at a clear part of sky and press ENTER. When

moving the telescope, remember to always ﬁnish

slewing using the UP and RIGHT direction but-

tons on the hand control. A small checkmark will

display at the right of the hand control display

when this is done. (This corrects any errors due

to mechanical backlash in your mount.)

StarSense will then begin taking the ﬁrst image

and will display “Acquiring Image” on the hand

control display.

5. Once the image is captured and processed, the

display will ask you to select the next alignment

point. Use the direction buttons to slew the

telescope to another clear portion of sky. Once

again, use the UP and RIGHT direction buttons

to ﬁnish slewing the telescope. Press ENTER.

6. Once the second image is captured and pro-

cessed, use the direction buttons to slew the

telescope to a ﬁnal clear portion of sky as far

away as possible from the ﬁrst alignment position.

Press ENTER.

Once the third image is processed, StarSense is

aligned and ready for use.

IMPROVING POINTING ACCURACY

WITH STARSENSE

Once your alignment is complete, StarSense can

further enhance the pointing accuracy of your

telescope by adding multiple calibration references.

You can add up to 10 calibration reference points

for extremely precise GoTo accuracy. This feature is

especially useful for astroimaging, to better center

objects in the imaging sensor.

1. Press ALIGN and scroll UP/DOWN until Add

Cal Reference is displayed and press ENTER.

2. Using the arrow keys, move the telescope several

degrees away from its last alignment point.

Remember to ﬁnish movement with the UP

and RIGHT direction buttons. A checkmark will

appear on the display to conﬁrm this.

If you only intend to add one additional calibration

reference point, then position the telescope in the

area you are going to observe or image in.

3. Press ENTER and StarSense will acquire a new

image and add the calibration reference point.

You can repeat this process up to 9 additional times

in different regions of the sky. Adding calibration

reference points improves the GoTo mount modeling,
